None/no
None is the pronoun form
of no. None means ‘not one’ or ‘not any’. We
use it as a pronoun to replace countable and
uncountable nouns. We use it as subject or
object:
• My mother had two brothers. My father
had none. (My father didn’t have any
brothers.)
• We use "no" with singular count
nouns, plural countable nouns, and
uncountable nouns to say that
something does not exist or is not
present.
• There was no chair for me to sit on.
• They had no immediate plans to
change house.
• No money was available for the
operation.
Note that if there is another word
in the clause that makes it
negative, you use "any", not "no".
• It hasn't made any difference.
• He will never do any work for me
again.
